"The confirmation of
the covenant"
In case you missed it:
Daniel 9:27 - a passage with which we are all
familiar - says that "He shall confirm a covenant with many
for one week." It must be noted that the LXX renders
this "And one week shall establish the covenant with
many...." Please note that it's THE covenant, not "a"
covenant. The Jews knew what covenant was in view, that it
was confirmed every year, and that the confirmation was a
specific day. The popular narrative is that this is a
seven year peace treaty made by the Antichrist, or some other
fanciful notion. But there is a long-standing annual
confirmation of God's covenant with Israel, as noted in the Shavuot
Fact Sheet:
Jubilees
6:17
“For this reason it is
ordained and written on the heavenly tables, that they
should celebrate the feast of weeks in this month once a
year, to renew the covenant every year.
The "middle of the month" is 15 Sivan, or this
coming June 11th. If it was "the middle of the month"
because it was a full moon, that would be at 3:44 A.M. Eastern
Time when June’s full Moon will reach peak illumination.
If that's the rapture/resurrection, then we could
expect the confirmation (or "renewal") of the covenant three
days later, per the pattern in Exodus 19:10-16.
We should have our answer by June 14th, just six days from now.
